David F. Walker's cinematic odyssey commenced during his high school tenure with the creation of Brain Damage: What's In It ForYou?, a project that unequivocally demonstrated his innate aptitude for storytelling.
From the onset, Walker's creative aspirations were rooted in his desire to become a comic book artist and writer, yet as he delved deeper into the realm of visual storytelling, he came to realize the limitations of his artistic abilities.
Undeterred by this discovery, Walker redirected his focus towards refining his writing skills, thereby laying the foundation for a successful career in the world of film.
In the year 1987, a pivotal moment in the career of Walker unfolded as he landed a role in the film Fatal Revenge, a project that he has since humorously expressed his hope will remain a forgotten chapter in his body of work.
Not only has Walker made a significant impact in the world of film, but he has also left an indelible mark on the realm of popular culture by establishing the renowned magazine, BadAzz MoFo, a testament to his extensive knowledge and profound understanding of the blaxploitation film genre.
This remarkable achievement has not gone unnoticed, as Walker has been invited to share his expertise on numerous prominent television programs, including E! True Legends of Hollywood, AMC's Hell Up in Hollywood, and VH1's Race-o-rama, further solidifying his reputation as a leading authority in the field.
Walker, a renowned expert on black cinema of the 1970s, co-authored the book Reflections on Blaxploitation, cementing his position as a leading authority in this specific area of film history. This notable publication is a testament to his in-depth knowledge and expertise in the field of black cinema.
